How Would You Grade President Obama's First Year in Office?
Fox News ^ | 1/20/2010 | Fox News

It’s been a year since Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States, the first African-American to hold the nation’s highest office. It’s been a year of highs and lows, from winning the Nobel Peace Prize to adding trillions of dollars to the national debt by enacting massive government spending programs – while continuing to battle for a nearly $1 trillion overhaul of the nation’s health care system.

His job approval rating also have gone from high to low, down nearly 20 points since taking office. How would you grade President Obama’s first year in office?

He's in OFFICE?

Oh, I thought he was just on an International Bash Bush Tour.

But I guess the term "in office" would be stretching it, as he spends more time in Air Force One and Marine One than he does actually working.

He should change his tag lines from "hope & change" to "Vacations 'R' Us"...(or maybe vacations IS us).

So insofar as you can't get a grade if you don't attend, I just give him and "absent".

Who is taking this poll? George Soros? This poll is worthless because there is no grade to signify the complete and utter failure known as the Obama phenomenon. The misfits that are voting this charlatan an A are stark raving mad lunatics who are off of their thorazine.

Looks to me like the White House staff got snowed in this weekend and spent its time surfing the net for polls.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A/ A+: Excellent: He’s had a lot to handle — great work habits, great leadership put him at the top of the class. 57% (249,900 votes)

B+/ Very Good: Has taken on some difficult coursework, but seems determined to succeed. 1% (5,953 votes)

B/Good: Nice effort, though he sometimes doesn’t listen to classmates and often fails to work with them on major projects. <1% (2,170 votes)

C- / C+/Need for Improvement: Clearly has the intellect to succeed, but easily distracted, doesn’t work well with classmates on major projects. 2% (10,098 votes)

D/ In Danger of Failing: If he doesn’t stop fooling around and start listening, he’ll be expelled. 38% (168,433 votes)

I/Incomplete: Not enough information to give a fair assessment of his work. 1% (2,841 votes)

Total Votes: 439,395

'How Would You Grade President Obama's First Year in Office?'
TRICK Question! TRICK Question! TRICK Question!

We can't grade Barry on his 'first year'. Because if we were his teachers, he'd have been shopped off to Special Ed Classes in week two.

I hate trick questions on a Sunday morning.

I have never wavered in the conviction that he is an usurper as a president, he was never qualified to be president and cannot even illegally act as a president.

Three strikes against him, no grade, he must be expelled from class and school.

There is no grade low enough to tell just how incompetent, ignorant and indecent this person Obama truly is, who calls himself President. He is true trash.

Why is there no F for failure? After all, the purpose of the poll is to find out how people feel about Barry. Leaving out the F is a serious flaw.

Well, based on the 59% giving him an A+ for "He’s had a lot to handle -- great work habits, great leadership put him at the top of the class" there has got to be a massive troll movement. It's quite obvious to all that he doesn't have great work habits because he's either golfing, jetting off somewhere, or giving a speech (on the average more than 1 per day). He's a schlub.

There was no F, so I had to give him a d. Even the commie rag mother jones is not liking his cut and gut of SS/Medicare.

The new Demonrat mantra! Woof, woof, let granny eat dog food...spoof on 'let them eat cake'.The articles also contain the new big fees to Tricare for Life the retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins)

obama's war on seniors See the links in post 43-46 and on the last page.

Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided. It also adds $50 million to programs that provide transportation help, adult day care, and in-home services, such as aides to help seniors bathe and cook, help which eases the burden for family members and helps seniors stay in their homes.

Even the commie rag Mother Jones is reporting the cut and gut to granny's SS/Medicare.
